Moana Visual Development, Part 3

The vignettes. 

Here are some story vignettes that I did for Moana– Moana sailing off to sea, The bioluminescence of the sea rescuing Moana, and a take on the “Underworld”. Fun fact: There used to be a totem sculpture/tiki-inspired character in the early stages of development, that you can spot in the third underworld piece.

Here is a visual research I did for SING. To be honest I am not sure if I can already post some of my art on the movie. I am only gonna post that image for now, until someone tells me to remove it :) But In few month from now I’ll definitely be able to show some more. So everything will work out at the end. Peace

Backgrounds from The Breadwinner, the newest feature by Irish animation studio Cartoon Saloon (Song of the Sea, Secret of Kells). 

The Breadwinner proves to be an increasingly relevant film for 2017, as it follows an 11-year-old girl in an Afghan refugee camp who disguises herself as a boy to earn food for her family. Executive produced by Angelina Jolie, this film adapts a YA novel of the same name by Deborah Ellis.

The Breadwinner will release later this year.

Yay! I made five Doodles for Earth Day, featuring five different biomes of the earth! You get a random one when you visit Google.com, but just refresh to see another. I had SO much fun painting these, drawing inspiration from nature and travel, and got to draw some of my favorite animals to boot. I go a little more in depth in a blog post on the official site.

Happy Earth Day! 💚

I did a couple of passes for this same shot. This one is a very short yet hard shot for me to do. 

My 1st pass is a very old take, and the early design of the character didn’t really have a focused direction - so it needed to be redone for sure. I realize he’s probably doing a bit too much for this scene; it being borderline over-acted.

The 2nd pass was definitely a lot more controlled, but I felt it lacked the intensity from the 1st pass. It was not dynamic enough, and the character felt like he wasn’t emotionally in the scene. It felt like he was just gliding to the poses, so it didn’t really have enough character to it. (Also, it’s evenly timed…) The 3rd pass, I actually got advice and feedback from my friend Rune - who helped me figure out the poses. Draftsmanship and clear drawing are some of my wain weaknesses, so its always great to have someone else point out what causes the issues. Its pushed, yet more controlled and simplified. The gun leaving the screen as he swings adds a dynamism to the animation. It’s much snappier, for this being part of an action segment; it makes sense. I’ll have to come back and fix the drawing a bit so its a bit closer to the model of the 2nd, but I definitely learned a lot from re doing this shot a bunch.
